Jimmy Smith har varit en känd profil inom kampsport i över tio år.
Han har bland annat varit programledare och expertkommentator i Bellator.
UFC-kommentatorn Joe Rogan har länge prisat Smith och kallat honom en av de bästa kommentatorerna i världen, och det var till stor del Rogans förtjänst att han fick chansen i UFC.
Tyvärr meddelade Smith på Twitter att organisationen valt att släppa honom.
